Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation Committee
responsible for deliberating on the constitutional instrument creating
forty-five new constituencies wants the Electoral Commission to withdraw
the document so it can correct some significant errors it identified.
The
latest move comes after the EC is said to have attempted to correct the
errors in a memorandum submitted to the committee at a meeting last
night.
Joy News has learnt the committee is insisting the EC
will have to go through due process to correct the errors and has
directed that it approaches Parliament formally.
The EC is yet to respond.
Meanwhile Parliament is set to accept or reject the CI today.
The
subsidiary legislation committee rejected the CI because of recent
Supreme Court rulings and serious errors such as the omission or in
other instances swapping of over a hundred electoral areas.
